Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate, with the core claim of the Trump administration considering adding 36 countries to the travel ban being widely supported. The article exhibits a moderate bias through framing and potentially selective reporting, but the factual claims are generally verifiable. The claim about the existing ban covering 19 countries is not directly supported by the provided sources, but is plausible.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** The administration gave the nations 60 days to fix concerns, according to a State Department cable.
  • Verification Source #1, #2, #4, and #5 do not explicitly mention the 60-day period. This claim is unverified by the provided sources.
• Claim:** The president already imposed a full or partial ban on citizens of 19 countries.
  • Verification Source #1 mentions the ban came into effect earlier this month, but does not specify the number of countries. Verification Source #4 mentions that the new ban would more than double the number of nations currently facing bans, implying a smaller number than 36. Verification Source #5 mentions a ban on 12 countries. This claim is not directly supported by the provided sources.
• Claim:** The administration is considering adding 36 countries to the travel ban.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Agreement:** Verification Source #1, #2, #4, and #5 all agree that the Trump administration is considering adding 36 countries to the travel ban.
• Disagreement/Lack of Coverage:** The number of countries currently under a travel ban is inconsistent across sources, with Verification Source #5 mentioning 12 countries and the article claiming 19. The 60-day period for nations to address concerns is not mentioned in any of the provided sources.
